ALL the national polls now confirm that Donald Trump HAS lost his lead in the race for President this coming November….
It appears that Joe Biden did Democrats and the growing Majority of Americans a favor in handing the ‘the tourch’ over to Kamala Harris…
The question will be will her lead keep growing and hold?
And will the lead translate to the Swing States where the election is actually decided….
A new Marquette Law School Poll national survey finds Vice President Kamala Harris is the choice for president of 52% of registered voters and former President Donald Trump is the choice of 48%. Among likely voters, Harris receives 53% and Trump 47%. These results include voters who initially did not choose Harris or Trump but who were then asked whom they would vote for if they had to choose.
In a May 6-15, 2024, Marquette Law School Poll national survey, Trump was the choice of 50% and President Joe Biden was the pick of 50% Among registered voters, while Trump took 51% of likely voters and Biden 49%.
When the ballot question explicitly includes independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Libertarian Party candidate Chase Oliver, Green Party candidate Jill Stein, and independent candidate Cornel West, Harris receives 47% and Trump 41% Among registered voters. Kennedy is supported by 9%, Oliver receives 1%, Stein is the choice of 2%, and West wins 1%, among these voters. Among likely voters, Harris is supported by 50% and Trump 42%, Kennedy 6%, Oliver 1%, Stein 1%, and West 0%.
In a generic question about congressional races, 52% of registered voters say they will vote for the Democratic candidate and 48% will vote for the Republican candidate. In May, 50% picked the Democrat and 50% picked the Republican….
…
The race is very tight among the very and somewhat enthusiastic, with a slight Harris edge among the very enthusiastic and a slight Trump advantage among the somewhat enthusiastic. Those who are not too enthusiastic and those not at all enthusiastic give Harris larger margins…

Donald Trump IS TIRED…….
He doesn’t want to campaign anymore
jamesb says
Trump now says he’s going to do a presser at 2 PM today
He’s been pushing that Harris hasn’t done one…….
BTW?
Harris IS campaigning
Trump is NOT and he’s losing polling numbers by the day as he falls behind Harris crying about how he misses Joe Biden in the race…
jamesb says
Added to his worries is the Jan. 6 Federal Court case has awakened…..
Democratic Socialist Dave says
http://www.Electoral-Vote.com has shifted Wisconsin’s 11 electoral votes to barely Democratic, bringing its current total to a hair’s breadth Trump 270 to Harris 257 with 11 in Arizona [11] tied at 48-48%.
RCP’s No-Tossup map is less red than it had been, but shows Trump 287-251

Tied in Georgia
A new AARP poll in Georgia finds Kamala Harris and Donald Trump tied in a head-to-head match up, 48% to 48%.
In a multi-candidate field, Trump leads Harris 46% to 44% with 7% of voters supporting a third-party candidate and 3% of voters undecided.

Trump talking
All negative
He’s losing in the polls, bit says he isn’t
He’s just rambling on
Trying to keep Biden IN THE race
He’s SO NEGATIVE
He’s trying to get the Fox debate in FIRST so he doesn’t have to do anymore
His comb over is thin
This guy REALLY SHIT CAN’s America
This IS a guy who IS ALL OVER the place
He ‘cherishes’ the Constitution!?????
The 2025 Project????
Donald Trump is All Over The place
He crowing about Cannon throwing away his case
Doing good with Black males
Knock ‘s Black Women
He’s knocking Shapiro. Who Harris didn’t pick
Crowd size question
He now is trying to count those who could not get in?
This is a sore point
Trump waned the Afghan withdrawal
Biden did it
He does crowd question … then wonders to Afghanistan and oil prices
He says he’s leading in Pa Ga …
He isn’t
He complained that he helped the Ga Governor get elected and wondered why he doesn’t’like’ him?.,.. Didn’t roll over on him
jamesb says
The last question has got him fired up
‘That was a stupid question’…

I’ll have a after action post later when the dust settle’s….
I simply CANNOT keep watching this person….
jamesb says
Ok….
It appears he’s finally stopped Whinning and Lying…..
This appearance was shamefully OFF THE HOOK….
Harris should only agree do the Fox debate AFTER another debate is DONE….
CG says
I have been watching and this making some comments on Twitter. Democrats who have no idea who I am are starting to notice and like some of my Tweets.
CG says
anybody who is invested in wanting to see Trump lose should have watched the whole thing until the end and then re-watch it several times.
Hopefully, Harris will do a press conference. As bad as she could potentially be, there is no way it will be as bonkers as this.
CG says
Team USA is losing to Serbia. This obviously is due to the players no longer being able to afford to buy bacon.

And of course the election isn’t for about 90 days……

The man Tim Walz ousted in 2006, former GOP Congressman Gil Gutknecht, did an interview with Rochester, MN, radio 2 1/2 weeks ago, right beforeBiden stepped aside. Gushing over the pick of JD Vance, praising Trump’s RNC speech, seeming to peddle the idea Iran was behind the attempt on Trump, and predicting Trump gets “at least 330 electoral votes” no matter who’s the Denocratic candidate.

Willie Brown Says Trump’s Story Never Happened
“Donald Trump said Thursday that he once had to make an emergency landing while riding in a helicopter with former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown,” the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Said Trump: “I went down in a helicopter with him. We thought maybe this was the end. We were in a helicopter going to a certain location together, and there was an emergency landing. This was not a pleasant landing.”
“But Brown – who did have a close call on a helicopter that Trump wasn’t on 20 years ago – said he had no idea what the former president was talking about.”
Said Brown: “You would have known if I had gone down on a helicopter with Trump. I’ve never been on a helicopter with Trump.”
New York Times: That time Trump nearly died in a helicopter crash? Didn’t happen.

Harris Builds Lead in Nevada
A new Decipher Ai (R) poll in Nevada finds Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in the presidential election, 49% to 44%.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr. gets just 4%.
Ghost of SE says
Nevada is the state I’ve been most worried about. Good to see it’s slipping out of Trump’s reach.
My Name Is Jack says
Another wayward “ predictor.”
Declaring a swing state “ slipping out of reach” based on one poll three months before the election is hilarious.
Show me a 5 point lead around Halloween and it will have some real meaning.
Otherwise?
A minor tidbit with little meaning?
jamesb says
Swing states polls ARE TRENDING away from Trump TO Harris
As mentioned here
Harris/Walz will have to work to KEEP those swing states vote come Election Day….
I smell some media already moving to change their narrative now the Harris leads….
My Name Is Jack says
Here we go…
When Harris’s numbers come back down as her honeymoon period recedes, he’ll blame it all on the media.
Same old same old.
Ghost of SE says
Harris/Walz has received the endorsement of former Minnesota Governor Jesse Ventura. This may swing a decisive amount of votes towards the D ticket.
Ghost of SE says
In 2008, Colin Powell was the paragon of moral rectitude who called the wayward McCain/Palin ticket on the carpet. Fast forward to today, and it is Jesse Ventura who is the paragon of moral rectitude calling the even more wayward Trump/Vance ticket on the carpet.
jamesb says
Morning Everyone!
Scott P says
Jesse Ventura has endorsed the Harris/Walz ticket. He is especially incensed at JD Vances attempts at Swift Bosting Walz military service.
Ventura has plenty of bizarre theories to say the least. And while he doesn’t sway too many voters, his endorsement will definitely catch Trump’s attention as Jesse is a product of the same 80s and 90s entertainment environment that Trump emerged from.

The national commander of the VFW has condemned Trumps claim the the Congressional Medal of Honor is less of an award than the presidential Medal of Freedom which was presented to Miriam Adelson ,the widow of far Right extremist Sheldon Adelson ,a Vegas casino magnate who was a major contributor to Trumps campaign.
He referred to Trumps statement as’ asinine “and “ crassly.”Continuing, he said someone who who would so brazenly dismiss the valor and reverence symbolized by the Medal of Honor should “ know better and “ I would question whether( he”) would discharge ( his) responsibilities to our men and women in uniform.”
Trump has consistently denigrated military service ,once referring to those that served and died as “ losers.”
Still he receives support from many veterans.
jamesb says
Donald Trump IS Anti-Military
Why ANYONE in the IS MILITARY would vote for him is beyond me….
Same for unions…..
Democratic Socialist Dave says
Maybe Trump has some visceral dislike of servicepeople because of his years at the military academy which his parents forced him into when other options failed to solve his incorrigibility. He got to be a rather strict junior NCO to his classmates, but perhaps he felt bad when they (at least some of them) went into military service when he didn’t. He must feel superior to everyone else at all times.
jamesb says
The man WAS the Commander in Chief of the United States of America’s Military….
His distaste and disregard for those who serve to make our lives, including HIS IS a DISGRACE….
jamesb says
If Harris CAN BITE HARD into the Blue Collar and non-college voters?
She’s a LOCK….
My Name Is Jack says
So Trump speaking before his cult yesterday incoherently suggested that we shouldn’t have an election because “ they didn’t have an election.”
Explained how he doesn’t “ ramble.”
Claimed he was “better looking” than Harris.
And
Said Joe Biden hates Harris because she “ overthrew” him.
And the Republican cultists with a straight face cheer him on.
They have them “ conservative values.”
jamesb says
They WILL follow him down the Rabbit Hole…..
Good Morning Everyone….

I see in the crosstabs Trump not getting what he needs from whites, men, people with no College degree, and seniors. Harris polls better than Biden, though is lagging a bit off 2020 results with Hispanics, women, and Suburban voters. Gaudy margins among Moderates, Independents, young, and black voters are powering her current lead.
If she can improve to 2020 numbers(and beyond?) in the highlighted demographic groups of concern, it’s a landslide.

Lindsey Graham Worries Trump May Not Win
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) told NBC News that Donald Trump, “the provocateur, the showman, may not win this election.”
Axios: “Graham joins a chorus of Trump allies who have publicly urged the former president to focus on policy, not personal attacks. So far, Trump’s not listening.”

Online Trump fans are back to being convinced that RFK Jr. is about to drop out and endorse Trump and that such a thing will easily seal the election for Trump.
CG says
It looks like the drop out and endorsement may actually be about to happen. The VP candidate/moneybags is openly saying she is leaning towards it.
CG says
We can look back historically and say that Bill Clinton perhaps owes his Presidency to the fact that an egotistical H. Ross Perot never got over George H.W. Bush turning down the job offer to work for his company decades earlier or that he was denied his request by the Reagan/Bush Administration to do freelance foreign policy work.
The question now is what Joe Biden once did to piss RFK Jr. off so much, or maybe RFK Jr. is, like his grandfather at least, just a very bad person.
jamesb says
What did Biden do??????
Huh?
You ARE KIDDING ME?
The guy maybe a Kennedy….
But he’s a flake….
He was NEVER a aserious candidate….
He asked for a trade for a Democratic endorsment and got none….
The Trump people thought he’d hurt the Dem’s , but he’s actually hurting Trump now…..
Man without a political future it would seem…

—The Time for Change model suggests that presidential elections are largely determined by three factors: the popularity of the incumbent president, the state of the economy, and the number of terms that the president’s party has controlled the White House.
—Specifically, the “Time for Change” factor of this analysis is based on the post-World War II reality that a party often can win the White House two straight times, but has a harder time holding it for longer than that.
—This year’s version of the model shows Kamala Harris as a narrow favorite in both the popular vote and Electoral College, but her predicted margins are so small that the safest prediction we can make about the 2024 presidential election is that it is likely to be very close….
